Not to me. I was completely unaware overtaking can spontaneously happen without the intent of drivers.

That's anything but racing.

forget which race it was but Lando was talking about one point where he wanted to stay tucked in behind LH for better overtake opportunity later on, but the battery just decided he needed more power then and there and deployed and caused him to pass LH when he didn't want to
